The Firemen.

The Volunteer Fire Co. No will give
a theatrical entertainment on Thursday
the 10th Of February, for their benefit.
They are also passing a list to the mer-
chants and property holders and we hope
every one will give according to his
means. The Firemen have just purcha-
Sed a larger supply of hose, and it is but
too just that the same be paid by those
who will be benefited a nj those who are
interested in good and efficient fire or
ganiZatiOn.
The fire boys are determined to bring
this entertainment to successful issue
and we have not the least doubt that the
public in general will give them the
support and assistance they SO We'll de-
serve.
A good fire organization is the most
important thing in town. 1t decreases
the rate of insurance Oh stCckand
property, and is protection to the
property of every citizen, and it is there
fore the duty of every one to help protec-
ting his OWL property.
Our fire boys are built of the right
kind of stuff, and will work this enter
tainment to grand financial success.

Masked hugging parties are coming in
to vogue in some parts of Ontario. For
10 cents a man is allowed to hug girl
but he il first blindfolded. 1t is said
that sccnes Of unseemly wrath are some
times exhibited when men find that they
have been hugging their wives at sche-
dule rates and thus defr auded to the ex
tent Of the law.

says: Three noted cattle thieves, Joe
BrOux as leader, all cOlOred were arrested
below Jeannerette and brought there for
safe keeping and trial. They were ar
rested while in possession of twenty five
head of cattle. Thep are supposed TO be
members of an organized oand. and lest
they should be given assistance in max
ing their escape, they have been chained
to the floor in seperate cells.
The cattle referred to in the above
were recognized as belonging to parties
residing in this parish, which have been
stolen few days ago. The necessary

The City Item favors the appointment
of T. V. POwderly as a commissioner of
the interstate commerce bill and says:
We want successful men. Success is a
very fair criterion of merit, and no one
who has not been good manager of his
own affairs should be intrusted with the
care of The vast interests which this bill
affects. 1t is hoped that the business
men" whom the President selects will be
healthy business men. Not bankrupt
merchants. nor unfortunates who have
succumbed TO the vicissitude of life,
whose sympathetic friends are pushing
them forward to be provided for. We
want first class ability and solid men,
and $500 salary ought to commend the
right sort. In appointments from the
industrial classes hard working and
practical men like T.. Y. Powd"rly should
be On the board.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade Cyrus
Bryant, Go. ID, 1lth Mo-. gives the regiments
composing the Second Brigade, Second Divis-
ion, Sixteenth Corps. This sounds strange to
one Of that old brigade A little explanation
might help out" From thcorganization of
the corps until the close of the Atlanta cam
paign this brigade was composed Of the 9th,
18th and Goth Ill. and Sist Ohio, and was COM
manded by Col. August Mersey, of the 9Th Ill.
When Gen. Sherman reorganized his army he
broke up this left wing of the Sixteenth Corps
the Fourth Division going TO the Seventeenth
Corps and the Second Division becoming the
Fourth Division of the Fifteenth Corps, which
il remained until mustered ont.
i would like 10 make suggestion, which may
clear up some of the clouds in regard to retak-
ing the works Of the Fiiteonth Corps on July
%, 1864, before Atlanta Is it not probable that
many of the comrades of the Fifteenth Corps
believe that this Second Brigade, Second Divis-
ion. Sixteenth Corps, on that day was part OF
the Fifteenth Corps2 A month or little more
after this day il became part of the Fiftccnth
and served with it to the close OF the war
